A Salad Container with Rectangular Hinged Lid (150cc) is a compact, eco-friendly packaging solution designed for small servings of food. The 150cc size is perfect for light, snack-sized portions, small side salads, or desserts. It’s ideal for use in takeout, grab-and-go meals, catering, and food delivery services, offering a more sustainable option compared to traditional plastic containers.

Key Features:

1. Material:

• Container Base: Typically made from Kraft paperboard, PLA-lined paperboard, or sugarcane fibers (bagasse), these containers are designed to be compostable or biodegradable. These natural materials help reduce environmental impact compared to conventional plastics.
• Hinged Lid: The lid is usually made from PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), a clear plastic that provides a secure seal while allowing for the contents to be visible. While durable and lightweight, PET is recyclable, though it is not compostable.

2. Size:

• 150cc Capacity: The container holds about 150 milliliters (or 5.1 ounces), making it ideal for:
  • Small side salads, fruit cups, or light snacks.
  • Desserts or small servings of yogurt, dips, or dressing.
  • Snack-sized servings of grains, nuts, or other light foods.

The compact size makes it perfect for smaller portions, ideal for grab-and-go or sample-sized meals.

3. Environmental Impact:

• Compostable Base: If made from Kraft paperboard or sugarcane fibers, the container base is typically compostable, which reduces waste and supports sustainable practices. These materials break down naturally in a commercial composting environment.
• Recyclable PET Lid: The PET lid is recyclable, but not compostable. PET is a widely accepted recyclable plastic, though recycling programs vary, so it is important to check with local recycling centers to confirm acceptance.

4. Design:

• Rectangular Shape: The container’s rectangular shape allows for efficient storage and stacking, making it easy to handle and transport. It also optimizes space, which is important for businesses with limited storage areas.
• Hinged Lid: The hinged lid provides a secure closure, ensuring that the contents stay intact and preventing spills during transport. The hinged design also makes it easy for customers to open and close the container quickly, making it ideal for busy takeout and foodservice environments.
• Clear PET Lid: The transparent lid provides visibility of the food inside, which enhances food appeal and is particularly useful in deli counters, food displays, or for customers ordering takeout.
